The Kingdom of Denmark's Chairship of the Arctic Council: "Unifying" Nuuk, Grønland (High North News): In May, the Kingdom of Denmark took over the chairship of the Arctic Council, spearheaded by Greenland. “Greenland’s leading role in the council has been a unifying force within the kingdom,” says Kenneth Høegh, Chair of the Senior Arctic Officials, to High North News.
It’s Greenland’s Turn to Lead the Arctic Council Op-ed: In 2011, Greenlandic politicians arrived at an Arctic Council meeting in Sweden to find they did not have a seat at the table. I mean this in the most literal sense: the chair where Greenland sat during previous Arctic Council meetings had been moved to the back bench. Instead, the Kingdom of Denmark, of which Greenland is a self-governing nation, held the sole central seat.
